holo1503559724 Posted July 28, 2005 Share Posted July 28, 2005 I'm just gonna sit and wait for a few weeks until all the hype and backorders die down. Then I might be able to pick up an 885 from a European online store.Even though I will probably never get Foxtel until they improve their PQ (highly unlikely) I just want to be different to the rest of you. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> me too, I will then strong arm some friends in England to get an 885 sent to them for them to forward to me. And yes I have Poxtel digital with IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BGH Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Can someone confirm whether the 885 is available in the UK yet and if so where the best place to purchace it is? I'll get a buddy to pick one up for me and mail it if it is available and a reasonable price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SPDF Posted July 29, 2005 Author Share Posted July 29, 2005 Had my confirmation from Bluedo on the 880 not sure when it will arrive I guess 10 days as usual. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I haven't ordered one, haven't had confirmation, but am still believing for one in 10 days too! Maybe by Santa or the tooth fairy!!!! I have faith..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fattchoi1503559854 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Foggy with special needs. Yep, he needs those colored buttons... Personally, I won't settle for anything less than 885 too. So I will continue to wait patiently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tobes1503560020 Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I'm only guessing here, but the smallest you can get (150mA or so) would be MORE than enuff............Austen. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I'd be making sure that you used a power pack with precisely the same voltage and current output specs as original. Lithium-ion batteries are notorious for being fussy with charging requirements. Wrong input voltage to the charger base could cause problems and lead to a damaged battery. Lithium-ion batteries usually aren't cheap either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lithium-ion batteries usually aren't cheap either. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> For sure...... If anyone mis-understood what I said, tobes has put it well. You MUST ensure that the output voltage on your plug-pack is the SAME as the output voltage on the original supplied one. The current rating must also be at LEAST the same as the original, although of course, it can be any size LARGER than the original. Austen.

BlueDo Posted July 29, 2005 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I apologize, but a Logitech rep has requested we limit the discount provided on the new H880. This means that the coupon code H880-AusPB now offers a net "shipped" price of $200. (<--- Edited to $200, see my post below!) Coupled with the extremely limited distribution of the H880, Logitech is really pulling the reins tight on this one. We're fully stocked right now, but distributors are again having trouble procuring these remotes. Sorry for any incoveniences. We truly appreciate your business and are working hard to provide you with the best pricing available. If restrictions are loosened or removed, we'll adjust our coupon again and will definitely let you know promptly! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
